The hypertriglyceridemia at fasting status has been known to be an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Recently, postprandial triglyceride (TG) levels draw an attention as a superior predictor of CVD because of non-fasting state for more than 12 hours and importance of triglyceride-rich lipoprotein.

We aim to investigate the relationship of postprandial triglyceride after fat tolerance test and intima-medial thickness and to suggest normal reference of postprandial triglyceride after fat tolerance test. In addition, we evaluate the correlation of postprandial triglyceride and incretin secretion after fat tolerance test Ultimately, we want to estimate clinical importance of postprandial triglyceride in assessment of cardiovascular risk.
